iPhone XS Max Leather Case - Forest Green

Every (RED) purchase brings us a step closer to an AIDS‑free generation. Please help make a difference.

Overview

These Apple-designed cases fit snugly over the curves of your iPhone without adding bulk. They’re made from specially tanned and finished French leather, so the outside feels soft to the touch and develops a natural patina over time. The machined aluminium buttons match the finish of your leather case, while a microfibre lining inside helps protect your iPhone. And you can keep it on all the time, even when you’re charging wirelessly.

Bought this as forest green. Unfortunately as I look at it appears very dark on the order of almost black. Just wanted to give people a heads up there isn’t a lot of green in forest green.

Where is the green?

I started only buying Apple’s leather cases, the silicon version is horrible, especially after a while, it peels apart
Although this feels a little flimsy, compared to the pervious leather cases, (I was using the 6s midnight blue case byApple) it is still my preferred case by Apple.
I really like the metallic green buttons for the volume and main button, but the green leather is dark, even in the sun light.
Apple can you send me a slightly lighter one?
Other than that it is Apple’s usual product and quality.

Honestly was expecting a more forest and vibrant green. It's hard to tell it's black. It almost falls catches your eye as blue or purple sometimes. Definitely was expecting something lighter and a richer green!

I agree with the other reviewers about the color: it's darker in person than the pleasing forest green that's pictured. I will add the following observations: 1. The case is slippery. The leather cases for the 6 and 6S series were grippy, which is extremely important in a case, especially one that is used to cover a slippery phone. I'll never understand why Apple's leather cases have gotten slippery over the past few generations, but they have, thus defeating one of the most important aspects of using a case: helping to guard against accidental drops. 2. The leather this time around seems a tad thinner, which is not terribly bad because the phones themselves keep getting fatter and heavier. But along with the thinness comes a cheaper feeling, which is not something one expects or wants from an expensive case such as this.
All in all, I'm fairly disappointed and will be returning this.

Like two previous reviewers, I also bought Forest Green. Green is my favorite color. Yes this is very dark, but in bright light it is definitely a true deep green. The color isn't my issue though.
I strongly DO NOT recommend purchasing this. The Quality is terrible! I have had my case 4 Days and the entire top of the case on the right side and corner has started showing white underneath the green, leaving me to assume the color is already rubbing off. I have no idea how this is even happening. I have been handling my new phone and case like it's made of solid gold!
When I leave the house it goes in a lined interior pocket of my winter Parka. I won't even leave the phone out while driving, even though I have a little cubby in the dash for a phone. I didn't want to risk the leather rubbing against something or the phone falling out if I came to a sudden stop. At home when I'm charging I always put my phone on a covered surface. I have a marble bedside table and I seriously put a paper towel down on the surface before putting my phone on it. I won't even put it down on a solid surface unprotected. Yeah I know I sound weird, but just goes to show the care I take with a new device and wanting to protect my investment. Also, I wanted the case to look "new" for as long as possible and not get any scratches on the back leather.
Taking it out of the box, there was already "wear" on two parts of the case. This is immediately noticeable in such a dark color. The spots were small, but I couldn't believe that a brand new product already had two spots where the leather showed abrasion and the white underneath. That is very irritating. I have had a clear plastic case on my previous iPhone that has worked very well for me. It has the bumpers on the inside of the case and saved my phone from shattering at least a dozen times. After 2 years of that, I wanted something that felt more elevated and wasn't plastic.
I know over time on a soft leather case the leather would age and the color would wear off. That is expected. And I know $50 is not a TON of money when cases sell for hundreds and plastic Otter boxes retail in this price range. I just thought buying a product direct from Apple like this would be better quality. Some people won't mind, but it's a big big quality control issue for me to have an entire corner of color rubbed off my case in literally days. If I had to change the case after 6 months+ or from heavy wear that would be fine. But after 4 days and very careful usage this is completely unacceptable.The only reason I haven't returned it is because then I am left without a case. I spend over $1300 for a device (after taxes) and I don't want to cover all that up with cheap, ugly looking plastic case. But I guess that's what I'll have to go back to.
Really really disappointing that Apple invests so much effort into design and packaging of the iPhone, and zero quality control in the design and manufacturing of a case to cover and protect the device.

Just looks stunning! The color of very deep and rich green plays even with shades of blue. Perfect match for the gold. A great alternative to regular black or dark blue. My first original leather case and I’m 100% satisfied. Worth its money! You won’t regret!
